    Sweet series, lovely fotos. I think you caught the event quite nicely. Should make friends with that helicopter pilot, be nice to have a contact for aerial photos, haha. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks- It was a long hot day but it was fun an d hopefully a good networking situation.

    There were several pilots- all building their hours. Not a bad idea to hook up with them though.

    Very cool series anwmn1! Really, it was a pleasure to view. You picked some good ones! 1,2,3, and 5, are some good cooking/prep shots!

    I caught myself on that when I was viewing them. Got stuck in a little rut of shooting tilted.:bash It works well in some but not in others but- I'll still take clear sharp tilted shots over washed out level ones deal.gif

    Lesson learned- make sure you shoot all angles!! :D

    I wish I owned that car! It is on my top 10 list of cars.

    The photo was taken at an auto auction- I like the cap and the water droplets.
